Two young orphans escape their evil guardian to search for a magic stone in this sentimental children's adventure tale. Nine-year-old Pablo (Kamlesh Gupta) and his younger sister Maria (Laura Jane Goodwin) escape the fearsome metal hook of a pirate (Edward Kelsey), and are helped by the delightfully drunken Captain (Frank Grimes) in their search for the treasure. Terence Bayler plays the inept town constable, with Sydney Bromely playing the Old Man. Younger, more sensitive children may be frightened by the danger, suspense, and mild violence. ~ Dan Pavlides, All Movie Guide

An undistinguished martial arts kickeroo with a glowing sword thrown in for mystic appeal, this actioner stars Tadashi Yamashita as Tadashi, a Japanese cop who is caught up in a misguided war against crime. His nemesis is Dirk (Mel Novak), equally trained in the martial arts and commander of a paramilitary unit in an illegal war against top criminals. Tadashi is partially sidetracked when he helps a hooker retrieve the glowing sword that Dirk has nabbed for his own. A bit of karate in drag follows as the undercover Tadashi kicks up his heels, and that may be the best scene in this film. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, All Movie Guide

This Disney adventure differed from many films of its era in that it depicted an unusually humanistic view of Native Americans as it tells the story of a young Sioux who finds a wild horse, captures the magnificent animal, names him Tonka, and patiently gentles him. According to custom, he is supposed to give it to his elder cousin, a despicable and cruel fellow who takes pleasure in beating Tonka and who eventually sells him to the cavalry. A kindly cavalry captain buys Tonka and names him Comanche. Meanwhile, the grieving youth, decides he must be with his horse and so sneaks into the fort where he is promptly captured. Fortunately, the captain, who has come to love his horse as much as the boy does, understands the youth. Later the captain rides the horse into the fateful battle at Little Big Horn and in the end, Tonka is the only survivor. The youth takes his horse and is later made an honorary member of the cavalry. ~ Sandra Brennan, All Movie Guide
